In December 2018, the YMCA of Central East Ontario renamed its annual winter fundraising run to honour the late Peter Adams, who served as both a federal and provincial politician in the riding of Peterborough.
One of the run’s original race directors, Adams was a dedicated and lifelong runner who loved running in downtown Peterborough. He died on September 28, 2018 at the age of 82.
